Chapter 37

“But I didn’t expect that letting you take a vacation this time would also allow you to make a breakthrough,” Lu Jiang added.

Chu Jingmo’s mind was thinking about something else. When he heard Lu Jiang’s words, he came back to his senses. “Catching Old Cat is my job. I’m just here to check some information. I have to go.”

“You brat…” Lu Jiang looked at the man who had disappeared. He couldn’t even curse at him.

When Chu Jingmo returned, Song Liangjiang had fallen asleep. Her pen and sketchbook were under her face and even left a mark on her face.

Chu Jingmo glanced at the model and then at Song Liangjiang. It was definitely not simple for Yang Heng to trick Song Liangjiang with the Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets. Therefore, Yang Heng might be related to what had happened back then.

But Song Liangjiang was probably not even born back then. Was it because she liked Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets?

That made no sense at all.

Song Liangjiang stretched and woke up with a yawn. She sat up and rubbed her eyes as she looked at Chu Jingmo. “You’re back. Where did you go?”

She had just woken up and she spoke in a soft and demure voice.

Chu Jingmo gazed at her and suddenly felt that somewhere in his body had been knocked. There were light ripples spreading.

“Don’t tell anyone about Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets, including both your seniors.” Chu Jingmo retracted his gaze and began to talk about serious matters.

Song Liangjiang finished stretching and heard Chu Jingmo’s words. “I won’t say anything that I haven’t finished, but if I really manage to succeed, then the divorce…”

Would he bring it forward?

Chu Jingmo looked at the woman in front of him who kept pestering him for a divorce. “If you want a divorce so badly, I reckon you’re probably lying about something.”

“How is that possible? I lied to you? Why would I lie to you?” Song Liangjiang mumbled guiltily as she got out of bed and packed her belongings. “I’m done here. I’m heading back.”

Chu Jingmo looked at the girl who sprinted away in a hurry. She looked so guilty that the word ‘guilty’ was almost carved on her face.

Song Liangjiang ran out and patted her chest after entering the elevator. She felt very guilty.

At this moment, two staff members got into the elevator and she moved back.

“I heard that Miss Luo blocked the President at the entrance yesterday and was chased away by him.”

“Miss Luo is talented and good-looking. What sort of qualities do you think the President likes? He doesn’t even like such an outstanding woman.”

“I don’t know. Besides, when Xiaoya was on duty yesterday, she overheard President Chu saying some nasty words. He even said that Miss Luo was delirious and asked Mr. Luo to take good care of her.”

Song Liangjiang stood at the back and listened silently. Was Chu Jingmo going to put the Luo family under house arrest?

Because of the plagiarism incident?

Even if Song Liangjiang knew that Luo Fuyang did it, it would be difficult to find evidence to prove it, especially when the results of the competition were about to be announced. If she and Luo Fuyang were involved in plagiarism at this time, they could both forget about winning.

This was also something Luo Fuyang was aware of. That was also why she wanted to compete with her.

In a nutshell, she was scheming and cunning.

Song Liangjiang waited for the two staff members to leave before she slowly walked out. However, just as she got out of the elevator, she was dragged back. The elevator door closed instantly, blocking the crowd outside.

She glared at the man in sunglasses and slapped his wrist hard to get him to let her go.

“Eww. Your cologne stinks.”

Xie Yu released her and immediately raised his hands. “My bad, my bad.”

“Are you surrounded again? Are all celebrities so miserable?” Song Liangjiang was still wiping her mouth in disdain. But she didn’t leave, or she would be attacked again.

Xie Yu chuckled and looked at Song Liangjiang. “Why are you here? Have you been staying in hotels recently?”

“I was looking for Chu Jingmo. How did you know he is staying in a hotel?” The scent of his cologne finally dispersed a little, and she was satisfied.

“I think his place was being renovated. He didn’t want to go back and live with his mother, so he stayed here.”

Song Liangjiang was startled. Why was his house suddenly renovated?

But that had nothing to do with her. Who cared if he wanted to renovate because he was getting married or he had a child?

When the elevator reached the floor, Xie Yu went out first. “Thank you for earlier.”

“I’m serious, I’ll install an alarm on you in the future. In the future, if you see me from afar, you can directly broadcast the news of your arrival. Otherwise, I’ll be harmed fatally by you sooner or later.” Song Liangjiang waved her hand, indicating that he could leave.

“By the way…” Before the elevator was about to close, Xie Yu suddenly stopped it from closing. “I heard from Old Chu that you want to find a picture of Harmonious Flowing Stream and Goblets. I know many people. Why don’t I help you to ask around?”

Song Liangjiang leaned against the elevator and looked at the man at the door. “It’s fine. I’ve completely given up. Mr. Xuan didn’t leak any sketches back then, so I’ve completely given up after so many attempts.”

“Doesn’t Old Chu have a model?”

“The model is just the exterior. Replicating the interior will still require the design.” Song Liangjiang waved her hand casually. “I have been hurt so many times. So I’m not thinking about this at all now. Bye.”

Xie Yu took a step back. Without another word, he watched as she left.

Song Liangjiang avoided the fans and left through a side entrance. Fans were really scary.

She was about to take a taxi when Lin Xi stopped her. She got out of her car and walked to her.

“Miss Lin?” Song Liangjiang still remembered her.

“Miss Song, can I have a chat with you?” Lin Xi looked much more polite than last time.

Song Liangjiang looked at Lin Xi from head to toe. “Miss Lin, you and I have nothing to talk about, right? I still have something on. I’ll leave first.”

“Don’t you want to know why Auntie is so against you being the Chu family’s daughter-in-law?” Lin Xi suddenly interjected loudly.

Song Liangjiang turned to look at Lin Xi. “I don’t want to be the Chu family’s daughter-in-law either. Do you think I care to know why she hates me?”

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. Perhaps she didn’t expect Song Liangjiang to answer in this manner.

“Then aren’t you curious why the old lady insisted on forcing you to marry Chu Jingmo?”

This time, Song Liangjiang stopped in her tracks. Not many people in the world knew that she was being forced into marriage, in fact no one knew. Even Chu Jingmo didn’t think that she was being forced. Perhaps he merely thought that she was being threatened.

Seeing that Song Liangjiang had indeed stopped, Lin Xi walked up to her. “Let’s find a place to chat.”

“If you have something to say, say it here. What did you mean by that?”

Lin Xi bit her lip. Seeing that Song Liangjiang was unwilling to follow her, she could only say, “I heard my parents say that Old Madam wants you to marry Chu Jingmo because someone is coming to the Chu family to seek revenge. Only you can save them.”

“Huh? Miss Lin, are you in the wrong place?” Song Liangjiang scratched her ear. “If you want to act, go upstairs and look for Xie Yu. Maybe he can help. Actually, as long as you make it sound reasonable, I would still believe you, okay?”

With that, she waved her hand and strode away. Did these people take her for a fool?
